One promise, one favour plus a broken heart brings two people from entirely different worlds together.
On one side is ordinary...

A sudden open of the door makes him look up from the screen before him. The secretary appears seconds later panting and looking flustered.
"Sir, I am sorry I.."
If only she knew how much of a problem the intruder could pose, she really wouldn't be bothered by not being able to stop her from coming in.
"Don't worry, you can go now."
The intruder had already taken a seat before given the courtesy.
Dark red lipstick. Trouble.
"Hello Ahmad."
"Hi," Ahmad replied looking at the screen before him.
"Look at me," She ordered.
"Why?" Ahmad asked still not looking her way.
"Because my presence makes your heart race super fast and you want to look but no, you probably shouldn't because then you wouldn't be able to take your eyes off me. Also darling you can't concentrate not when I pop up uninvited like now. I know you well, I take pride in that."
Ahmad sighs as he placed his hand on his forehead, still looking away from her.
"What do you want?" he asked after a while.
"Well that's more like it. I have a job for you."
"You can't hire me Hafsat.
"Why not? Ahmad I can buy this whole place if I want to. You know that but you needn't worry, I won't do that. I know this is your baby."
"Hafsat what do you really want?"
"Are you sure you want the answer to that question, bae?"
Ahmad's heart skipped at beat at that. She was right, he most certainly did not want to hear her say the real answer to his question. For once he hated just how well she knew him, and how accurate her conjectures about his innermost thoughts were.
Ahmad brushed his hands in to his thick curly hair and heaved a sigh.
"Hafsat I am begging you in the name of Allah please don't do this...whatever this is," he articulated moving his index finger pointing from her to himself.
"You know very well how hard this has been for me, you know how much I wanted to make you mine but destiny happened, none of us is to blame for that. I am trying so hard to keep it together for myself, for my parents. I can't achieve anything if you keep tempting me in such a manner. You know you don't need to do anything to get my attention, yet here you are fighting for it...Do you want me ruined?"
